Today, I was having trouble blowing out the last of the several candles on my bedside table. Exasperated, I blew as hard as I could, which sent hot wax from the other candles shooting into the air, all over my face and into my eyes. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, while moving my wax burner away from the window, I spilled hot wax all over my hands, the wall, and in my electric fireplace. FML
Today, I was getting my chest waxed. The woman dipped the stick into the wax and hit her elbow, making wax fall into my eyes. FML
Today, I burned my nose. How? I tried sniffing a lit candle. FML
Today, I was sitting next to my friend as he blew out the candles on his birthday cake. Some asshole got the bright idea to shove his face in the cake, but they missed and pushed me in instead. The candles were still lit. My hair caught fire. FML
Today, a hornet thought it would be fun to fly into a candle that I had lit. As the hornet burned to death, it flung its charred body at my face, which is more painful than it sounds. FML
Today, I was at a fire roasting marshmallows. When mine caught on fire, I pulled it back so I could blow out the flames. It flew off the stick, and, still flaming, landed on my face. FML
Today, I found a box of birthday candles sitting on the coffee table. Bored, I lit one, and after a minute I threw it away and sat back down on the couch. I started looking at the box and noticed that it said "Magic Re-Lighting Candles" at the exact moment that my trash can burst into flames. FML
Today, I was roasting marshmallows around a campfire when mine burst into flames. I instinctively shook the stick to get it to go out. The flaming marshmallow then catapulted straight into my eye, burning my whole eyelid. FML
Today, as a stressed NHS nurse, I tried to take a relaxing bath, except I dropped my book in the water, my candle set my hair on fire, I slipped getting out and may have broken my finger. The noise woke up my two kids, so I had to start their bedtime routine over again, and I got bath salt crystals in my eye. FML
Today, I was showing my grandson how to blow out the candles on his birthday cake. I got a little too close and set my hair on fire. The candles remained lit but my grandson was too terrified to go near them after the whole ordeal. FML

Having trouble blowing several "candles" all at once? The "wax" hit you in the face? I think we've all learned a valuable lesson about fellatio, yes?

Ok...seriously...I don't know HOW you were blowing those candles...but usually, air goes AWAY from you, and if it blows hot wax AWAY from you with it...you must blow candles out in a REALLY weird way...

Also...if it were the last of the candles...the wax from the other would have solidified by then. It takes about 3seconds to harden. It may still be warm, but not liquid enough to go everywhere when you blow on it, let alone something near it.

It takes more than 3 seconds for wax to harden. If a candle is burning more than an hour the wax is super liquefied and will easily splash you in the face if you stood above it to blow it out.

Totally agree. What she just said defies the laws of physics.

if u were on ur bed or horizontal to them if you blew them the wax would go away from you. If you blew from above, you're Retarded.
